My view on the "Marine taken hostage situation"
 

Call me crazy but....

People who are US trained military soldiers are fully focused right now and fully aware that they are in a complete WAR ZONE...

and know their lives are IN DANGER...

Given the current state of things (hostages being beheaded) I highly doubt that a US soldier could be "captured/taken alive" in Iraq in non-battle circumstances.

The terrorist have shown thus far that they are able to get "uniforms"...

Further more

I think that the soldier is just an Iraqi in US military clothing....

Only time will tell though

He certainly doesn't look american, well lets just say he could very possibly not be. Where is the story on this do we have his name?

yeah i already said he look like an arab....

because he is an arab, hes from pakastan (sp)

The Pakistani that's been captured is working for a subcontractor of Kellogg Brown & Root, a Haliburton company.

They say there are papers identifying the Marine, but aren't being released until his family is notified.

These 2 plus the 3 Turks make 5 total right now, right?

And? There are foreigners in the American Military...What's wrong with y'all? One of the dudes who had to answer for that prisoner shit was filipino.

The tape showed a blindfolded, mustached man wearing a blindfold and displayed a Marine identification card in the name of Wassef Ali Hassoun. Al-Jazeera said he was of Pakistani origin.

Arab television broadcast videotape Sunday of two men said to be of Pakistani origin taken hostage by militants: a driver for an American company and a blindfolded man in military fatigues described as U.S. Marine lured from his base. Insurgents threatened to behead them both.


.....In the statement, the military said a corporal by that name had been missing from his unit in the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force since June 21. The statement said Hassoun was of Lebanese descent.



still fishy

I hope he's able to get loose and rip some of their nuts off with his bare hands :feels-hot

yeah right, he doesn't look american!

Uum, what exactly does "American" look like? White skin? Light hair? Bald Eagle tattoo?

stay 3 months under the sun of iraq and you'll look like iraqi too

I know that non people from other countries can join the US military..

All I was saying was..
this might be the terrorists playing some sort of switcharoo..
or trick

how DOES American look like?

you are, without a doubt, one of the stupidest fucks ever

Maybe you should learn to read fuckstick.

I dunno just not like that. Im not sayin I know he's not I just think its a possibilty.

:1orglaugh

When I was in the military we had' em from a bunch of countries. we had a German and he got drafted by the German army while he was still in the US army :1orglaugh They had 2 ship him to the states.

Training isnt what it used to be.

I sooo dont give a fuck ... and Im serious . If everybody start giving a fuck, it will give more power to the terrorists

he will usually have a swagger in his step

Oh, I thought it was the rum that did that!:1orglaugh

that too

non people?:eek7 :1orglaugh

I'm thinking it's the real deal, though there still are some "fishy" details surrounding this. He has been absent from his unit since June 21st, but was reported missing last Monday? And if he's been gone this long, why has all this been showing up now? Wouldn't they have beheaded him already? Something isn't right.

You mean like Navajo?
